Yul Lose Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) The light in our older LG refrigerator works very rarely. I’ve changed bulbs and replaced the switches in the hinges to no avail. We’ve had 2 different repair outfits out and they want anywhere from $800.00 to $1,100.00 upfront to order a board that they say might or might not solve the problem, no guarantees. So I found these motion sensing LED lights on Amazon and for about $60.00 I fixed the problem. The lights are rechargeable and the charge lasts quite awhile and Mrs. Lose is very pleased. My stepson and his wife have been complaining about the same problem and they took my advice and did the same thing.

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 What the repair pukes aren't telling you, the little guy in the fridge that turns the light on and off quit. You gotta hire a new one. 1 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yul Lose Posted Friday at 04:04 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 04:04 PM UPDATE::: if the light fails to light and you know the battery is charged wipe the lens of the motion detector with a paper towel. It seems moisture or dew build up and keep the sensor from operating. The motion detector lens is the dark gray circular area on the round light and the lighter protruding circular area on the long light. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
